If I was anymore relaxed I'd never get anywhere, but point taken :)

My pet hate - people that turn into street/driveway, and forget that the car extends 2/3/4 metres behind where they are sitting in the drivers seat...and stop or preceed so slowly after the initial turn that they block everyone behind them...

Sunday drivers on single-lane 60 mph roads... not confident on the road or perhaps "being careful" after a boozy lunch... I've been frustrated by slow drivers on a few occasions, sure. But not really in London.

When I pull away slowly it's normally because I'm at a junction where I can see the traffic on the cross-way hasn't stopped, or there's a cyclist or motorbike that might be tempted to chance the lights. I definitely pull away more slowly now at some junctions, after a few close misses where I could have hurt someone if I'd driven at speed.

Completely correct, Siduhe.
